Contradicting idealized stereotypes of women's writing, the novel's portrait of indulged desire, gratuitous cruelty, and monumental self-absorption retains considerable power to disturb. A minor scandal on its first publication, and a significant influence on Byron and Shelley, Zofloya has been unduly neglected. The novel's most daring aspect is its anatomy of Victoria's intense sexual attraction to her Moorish servant Zofloya that transgresses taboos both of class and race. Charlotte Dacre's narrative deftly displays her heroine's movement from the vitalized position of Ann Radcliffe's heroines to a fully conscious commitment to vice that goes beyond that of `Monk' Lewis's deluded Ambrosio. The novel follows Victoria's progress from spoilt daughter of indulgent aristocrats, through a period of abuse and captivity, to a career of deepening criminality conducted under Satan's watchful eye. `Few venture as thou hast in the alarming paths of sin.' This is the final judgement of Satan on Victoria di Loredani, the heroine of Zofloya, or The Moor (1806), a tale of lust, betrayal, and multiple murder set in Venice in the last days of the fifteenth century. Tolkien believed that the roots of myth and the roots of language are one and indivisible, and he demonstrated this belief by creating an entirely new language (Elvish) with its own grammar, its own beautiful script and its own mythology. The strength of Tolkien’s work is in its fidelity to its roots, which lie in the legends of the Nordic world. Tolkien, the reclusive, pipe-smoking Oxford don, was in the vanguard, and so great was his achievement that his name became virtually synonymous with the literature of fantasy. An increasing interest in the roots of culture, together with a recognition of the importance of myth and archetype in understanding the human condition, led to a reflorescence of myth-based literature in the 20th century. All cultures have their myths – tales of gods and giants, monsters and marvels. Since the dawn of time, storytelling and the fantastic have gone hand in hand. The story starts in 1978 with six-year-old Charlie McGee and her father Andy on the run from shadowy government forces called The Shop. So after some searching, I pulled Firestarter from the shelf. However, it made me wonder why have these books if I’m not going to re-read them. For a time I pushed myself to get all of his books in first edition when possible, although due to lack of shelf space I’ve since stopped that pursuit on his newer releases. As I write this review I am looking at my bookshelves and the nearly 3 full shelves dedicated to King. I am a big King fan, a Constant Reader in the fandom parlance. When I saw that a new movie adaptation of Firestarter (starring Zac Efron, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, and Gloria Reuben) was coming out this year (trailer below), I realized I hadn’t thought of that particular book in years. Next to those iconic works, there are others that are no less great but seem to have been somewhat forgotten in the years since their publication. Among those titles are the books most would consider among King’s most iconic: Carrie, ‘salem’s Lot, The Shining, The Stand, The Eyes of the Dragon, The Talisman, Pet Sematary, The Gunslinger, Christine. The sheer output is not the only extraordinary thing. Between 19 Stephen King published an astounding 18 books (counting the four novellas published under the name Richard Bachman, later packaged together as The Bachman Books).

From there unfolds a regular, angsty, wide-eyed account of a 14-year-old girl’s daily life in 1290: embroidery, lady lessons, fleas, family tensions, and the looming threat of an arranged marriage.
